Random steering angle comparison

another thing i would like to mention about poor handling
so you guys know how a car likes to have sticky steering?
i have come to the realization this happens due to backheavy cars, and it is notoriously bad on the 911 GT3 RS and 911 RSR (both rear-engined cars) and CLK GTR, Saleen S7, and F1 GTR Longtail (all large rear overhang cars). This is probably due to the fact the weight acts as a kind of counterbalance, so when you make a turn it swings with it, and when you exit the turn it swings back, swinging the car with it
the honda race mower is a prime example too - since most of its weight is based in the back, whenever you steer it, it fights back against you. However, when you remove the rear overhang, it turns amazingly well, albeit with a loss of speed when turning (like the Alfa Romeo 155 DTM V6)
therefore the solution to these sticky steering problems is just to have the devs remove the weight of the cars at the rear as it causes these issues
